Meanwhile, my attention is diverted towards another British player, last year's Champ and eye-popping sex-kitten Vicky Coren. She's not fairing quite so well just yet, her stack being knocked down to 6.3k after being re-raised off a board. She quickly turned to tablemate and long time buddy Barny Boatman to discuss the hand, but he's still wearing a constant smile from accumulating a nice chunky 21,675 stack.

I should have guessed really, there's definitely a family resemblance... plus they're both from a Greek island.

Andrew Dwyer a Paddy Power qualify hasnt come here to make up the numbers, he is tangling in a lot of pots especially with Mark Teltscher on his table it aint pretty.  I walked by just as Teltscher pushed his remaing 3,000 or so in the middle against Dwyer.  The board was 

     

Whilst Dwyer was in the think tank, Teltsher didnt seem to have a care in the world, even found the time to chuck a wink in my direction hehe.  Maybe Dwyer took read into that somehow but anyway he made the call leaving himslef only 3k back with 

Mark nonchelently turns over his ladies    and recieves the pot after a nothing turn.

Dwyer down to 3,000
Teltscher a healthier 9,600

Scott Fischman, who has followed in the pie-eating footsteps of his former crew member Dutch Boyd, has just doubled up courtesy of young Aussi Mark Vos.

The catherine wheel imploded on the turn of a board, Joshua Tyler betting 2k, Fischman making it 4.2k and Vos unhesitatingly sticking in another raise to 7k. Whilst Tyler quickly folded Fischman wasn't so keen to release his hand, and understandably so as he shoved in his remaining chips and revealed a menacing pair of Nines.

Sensing his fate as Fischman called quicker than a jet-propelled Linford Christie, Vos dejectedly flipped over his and begrudgingly passed over the surplus chips on the River.

Jeff Lisandro - and next time I see him I'll have words about where he thinks women belong  (he left quick after this pic, must have seen the bit between my teeth)

[snoopy1239]

I spotted Deauville 2006 champ Mats Iremark trundling towards the rail so assumed he was out, but oh how I've learned not to jump to conclusions with this blogging lark, as moments later I noticed him at the table with 15k. By coincidence, he was actually involved in a hand with one of the biggest fishes around, well, Dave 'Devilifish' Ulliott anyhow.

I think it was a slight case of pinchy pincy catchy catchy, because when it was checked down on the end of a 9-3-Q-A-9 rainbow board, it was the tourette's winking Devilifish raking in the pot with A-T vs. T-7, the Swede's stack decreasing by a couple of thousand as a result.

If Swedish pro Chris Bjorin (5,200) had moved to Ireland instead of London, they would have snapped him up in a second,

Unless he moved there last week, although a frequent visitor he actually lives in Washington DC

Jeff Lisandro is still riding higher than the sun with a near 30k in chips. Next door to him is an equally formidable opponent in Martin Wendt (12,425), who not only finalled in a Poker Million, but also won the recent William Hill televised event. Then, in seat ten, and thankful for being the right side of the aforementioned menaces is young Swedish player Vicktor Wessman with 9,200.

I'm still snapping him up. DC = Dave Colclough = Dave lives in England. I think that link is strong enough to say Bjorin is one of our own.
